yup - why are American boys over the age of 18 called men and American girls over the age of 18 called... girls. Why do we call adults 'baby'? So many easy programming techniques. All based on a millenium and more of the strong dominating the weak.

On September 4, 2013 you helped make history. The California Assembly passed Senate Bill 649, which gives local prosecutors the option to charge simple possession of drugs for personal use as a misdemeanor instead of as a felony. The bill was authored by Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) and co-sponsored by the Friends Committee on Legislation of California, the American Civil Liberties Union of California, National Council of La Raza, California State NAACP, California Public Defenders Association, Californians for Safety and Justice, Drug Policy Alliance, and the William C. Velásquez Institute.

Lobbyists in support of the bill, like FCLCA's Jim Lindburg, were still visiting assemblymembers' offices right down to the final vote to make sure we would have enough votes - and we did, passing with a vote of 41-31.

Activists like you played a big role in winning the passage of SB 649 - over 2,000 activists through FCLCA alone signed petitions, sent messages through our Action Alert system and called their legislators when things got down to the wire. Thank you!!

We will stay in touch through our Action Network (sign up here) and let you know when it's the best time to contact the governor to say "Gov. Brown, please sign SB 649 into law!"

P.S. We're starting our fall campaign to raise money for our lobbying program at the Capitol, which costs about $326 per day the Legislature is in session. We would appreciate your contribution in any amount. Just click here. Thank you.

Eleanor Longden began hearing voices in her head when she was a young college student. Her experiences are both horrifying and hopeful. In this talk, Eleanor starts by detailing the long, dark struggle she endured after a schizophrenia diagnosis. Then, at 5:39, her doctor makes a shocking assessment of her illness and her likelihood of being cured. At 7:26, she explains how the voices in her head actually provided the insight she needed to solve her problems. And at 10:08, she shares how the voices in her head might have technically helped her cheat on an exam and later go on to be an extraordinary academic and use her experiences to help others.

Romany Gypsies Tomorrow, MPs start debating the gagging law. [1] The government wants to rush it through parliament. [2] Our best hope of stopping them is to make sure MPs realise just what a dodgy law they are being asked to vote for. Please can you email your MP now and help build the pressure? If passed, the gagging law would have a chilling effect on our democracy. From May 2014, draconian new rules would prevent non-politicians from speaking up on the big issues of the day. A huge range of campaign groups and charities – everyone from The Royal British Legion, to Oxfam, to the RSPB - are warning about the threat this poses. [3] MPs need to know we won't stand for this – so please take a minute to email yours before Tuesday's debate: https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/gagging-bill-MPs It’s telling that so many groups who wouldn't normally agree with each other have united to oppose the gagging law. Groups that speak out in favour of hunting, windfarms, HS2 or building more houses are joining together with groups who say exactly the opposite. [4] That’s because there’s one thing we should all be able to agree on: in a healthy democracy, everyone should able to express their views. And everyone should be allowed to get organised to highlight what politicians are saying and doing on the issues that matter to them. Politics is too important to leave to political parties. When we speak up about decisions that affect us and the future of our country, we can often change things for the better. Are politicians really so arrogant as to think the UK would be better off if all these groups were blocked from campaigning? Let’s come together quickly and tell MPs that this gagging law must not be passed. The first vote is on Tuesday, so please email your MP now: https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/gagging-bill-MPs
